What is a Community?

A community as a whole is a a diverse body of people, either large or small who come together for a common goal/activity. They can be brought together by a common source of discussion or likeness, culture or even where you live. Communities can be diverse but most have a targeted group, sometimes even exclusive to a group. The communities can be a silent group who stick together for a common goal/activity but aren't vocal, or ones that vocally discuss their goal/activity. Communities can be exclusive and/or you can be booted for an activity counterproductive of the community.

Communities such as a Sports forum come together to talk sports, some may live in the same area as it may be a team related forum but it also may be a national forum where alot of people discuss. A University community may be a little different because not everyone is vocal in the community, you all have solidarity towards a common goal of getting ready for the work world but not everyone is showing it. Flunking or doing something illegal can get you kicked out of a university, so communities have the right to do that.
